Better alone by Atile (the bread queen)

When I’m not alone 
All I do is moan
I also groan
My companions say “Oh won’t you stop!”
But my only reply is “I’m going to the shop”
 

 
When I’m alone
I can play my trombone
Without somebody screaming “I would rather you moan!”
And I don’t always have to go to the shop
I just always watch TV non-stop
 

Once I was alone
And I was on my phone 
And I was shown 
A warning about a virus
Named the corona virus 
 

 I then thought “Its good I enjoy being alone”
I then switched off my phone
Then played the trombone
I rushed to the shop
And shopped till I dropped .
I headed home then realised I would not be alone

1 month ago my parents had called and said “We know that you like to be alone

but we would like to see how you’ve grown”
I called them then to say “ You have to stay home

because you are prone”.
Later that night I read more about the corona virus
I found that some countries had strong bias
 

 
Now people were glad to be alone
Especially the prone
Many events were postponed 
Much toilet paper was sold
I had bought as much as I could hold
 

 
Many years later
I realized that when i am alone i'm a way safer
From a hater
And viruses
Especially the ones that affect your sinuses
